This is like a fast-track version of starting a new society!

Having said that, if you would like to start a completely brand new society from scratch, our affiliation form can be found here .

Why are these societies inactive?

All of our societies are student-led. They are run by committees, all of which must have a President, Secretary and Treasurer. Committees can also have 5 additional roles to complement the 3 core positions (i.e. Events Coordinator or Social Secretary). Unfortunately, sometimes societies don't manage to find a committee for the following year. Consequently, they can't run as normal and are made inactive.

Why should I adopt a society?

Societies are like mini communities on campus. They are a great way to make friends with similar interests and increase your social activity. As you know, every society needs a committee to run it. If the society you like the look of is inactive, you and 2 others could be the ones to give it life! Committee positions are voluntary roles which look great on your CV. Committee members will have to complete a compulsory induction training and will be invited to specialised society workshops too. These are great opportunities to enhance both personal and professional skills.
